New song: Everything that isn't you

"Everything that isn't you" by Timothy Chen Allen



The end of this song echoes the first song I wrote this year: "If I can find a way I can find you

Sha la la la la bang bang yeah!
You... didn't leave me much to think of you
Just this house... full of everything that isn't you
What a thing to do
You got a lot of nerve
I knew that from the day we met
You're the girl I never could forget
Now you think I'm gonna wait around 'til you're back in town
Well babe, I've got no pride
Don't bother me none to cry
Sha la la la la bang bang yeah!

We... we've been through such an awful lot
Such an awful lot of stuff we've got
But it does no good
'Cause everything that isn't you
Reminds me of you
Don't know what to do
Sha la la la la bang bang yeah!

If I could find a way I could find you
If I could know a way I could touch you
If I could find a way that you want me to find you...

Sha la la la la bang bang yeah!

New song: Patient

"Patient" by Timothy Chen Allen



I'm not very good at waiting, but I have to
I'm not good at being patient, but I'm getting that way
And you are so far
And I am still here
I'm not very good at waiting, but I have to

No me gusta esperar mas te espero
No es fácil ser paciente no mi vida
Si allá es de día
Y aquí es de noche
¿Cómo debo recordarte? Quiero verte

I'm not very good at waiting, but I have to
When I said goodbye I didn't mean for always
Close my eyes and I see you
How much longer? It feels forever
I'm not very good at waiting, but I have to

Y tú llevas el mejor parte de mí
Dentro de ti
And I have got to learn to wait a little more each day
Until you find your way
Back home

I'm not very good at waiting, but I have to
I'm not good at being patient, but I'm getting that way
I'm not good at being patient
I'm not good at being patient
I'm not good at being patient

New song: Icarus wing



I am not afraid
But I am alone here
If I were to fall here...

This place is not so high
But high enough to hurt me
There is no hand to catch me
If I were to fall

Everything is still
The air is filled with sweetness
The tide flows out beneath me

Now I'm flying
Over rooftops
Gravity talks
But I am not listening
It cannot touch me here
The ground must forget me here
If I were to fall

You look up now
You would not see me
I'm high overhead
And gaining momentum
The sun reaches out a hand
I'm not afraid of falling
But if I were to fall

The world is moving fast
The sky catches my wings now
My feathers fall away now

I am feeling calm
The sun shines on the river
The air is filled with sweetness

The final moment comes
I know the ground will catch me
I knew that this would happen
If I were to fall

New song: Sleep this day away



I'm awake
But I'm dreaming of your face
Some other kind of place
I would rather be
Please don't ask me
If I want to stop dreaming

Tie me down
I know damn well I should be
Wide awake
It'd be a big mistake
To go back to sleep
I can't help it
I just keep on
Wishing I could keep on dreaming

Don't wake me up
I'm sleepy tired
And my head's started aching
I won't be waking
Before midday today
I'll sleep this day away
If I could only find a way
To go on dreaming

Wake me up
'Cause you're a dream
That's just too good to be true
I'm not with you
And that's the way it must be
I'll never be free
As long as you are just a dream
That's dreaming about me
